Semaglutide is an injectable medication used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It can also be used for chronic weight management in adults struggling with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related condition.
Semaglutide works by mimicking the effects of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). This hormone helps the body produce more insulin when needed and reduces appetite.
Benefits of semaglutide treatment can include:
Treatment requires regular self-administered injections under the skin. Most people tolerate semaglutide well, but potential side effects can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, and stomach pain.
Proper medical supervision is important when using semaglutide for weight management to ensure safety and efficacy. Harmony Hormone Center provides comprehensive treatment tailored to each patient's needs.
Determining appropriate candidates for semaglutide involves medical examinations and lab tests to evaluate:

Hormones like insulin, leptin, GLP-1, and others intricately impact appetite, fat storage/burning, and weight regulation.
When these hormones are chronically imbalanced, the body has difficulty maintaining a healthy weight. External pressures like an energy-dense food environment also disrupt hormonal signals.
This is why comprehensive treatment aimed at hormonal correction and metabolic improvement can be key for sustained success. Lifestyle changes alone are often inadequate over the long term without addressing underlying biological drivers.
Harmony Hormone Center specializes in cutting-edge medical strategies to normalize hormone activities - using agents like semaglutide and more when appropriate. This is the future of effective medical weight loss.
Semaglutide is structurally similar to a human hormone called GLP-1 that regulates blood sugar. When injected weekly, it mimics the effects of GLP-1, stimulating the pancreas to secrete more insulin when blood sugar is high, leading to better blood sugar control.
